Spring Semester Courses

Topics on Phonological Theory | Ling378 (undergraduate course): This advanced phonology course aims at providing a comprehensive description of the (morpho)phonology of Standard Modern Greek. The main goals of this course are: (a) to present a wide-range of novel data from Greek covering some problematic aspects of the (morpho)phonology of the language (i.e., demotic vs. archaic phonotactics, semi-phonological instances of allomorphy, prosodic structure of compounds, etc.), (b) to shed light on the nature of phonological representations, and (c) to acquaint the students with cutting-edge phonological theories (e.g. Optimality Theory). Link here

Morphology | Ling348 (undergraduate course, in collaboration with Prof.Dr. D. Papadopoulou): In this course, we focus on the grammatical properties of the notion word. More specifically, we explore the basic principles and methods of morphological analysis with emphasis on the experimental methods of lexical processing. We also investigate the structure of the Mental Lexicon, the difference between inflectional and derivational processes and how these are mentally represented. The course concludes with a crosslingustic review of the basic typological properties of words and word formation processes. Link here

Introduction to Linguistics ΙI | Ling304 (undergraduate course, in collaboration with Prof.Dr. D. Papadopoulou): This course provides a comprehensive overview of the grammar of natural languages, with a particular emphasis on Greek. While it draws on contemporary linguistic analyses of Greek and employs the methodological tools of modern linguistic theory, its primary approach is descriptive rather than explanatory. The objective of the course is to give students a detailed understanding of Greek grammar across all levels of grammatical description, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
